Dakar, July 3 (APS) – The President of the Republic, Macky Sall, pledged on Monday to ensure the “good organization” of the presidential election on February 25, 2024, in which he will not be a candidate.
“With regard to the presidential election of February 25, 2024, I want the government to take all the measures for a good organization of the ballot, as in the past,” said Mr. Sall.
The President of the Republic has announced that he will not be a candidate in this election, ”even if the Constitution [lui] gives the right.
“My long and well-considered decision is not to be a candidate in the next election on February 25, 2024,” he said.
”Contrary therefore to the rumors which attributed to me a new presidential ambition, I would like to say that I have a clear conscience and memory of what I have said, written and repeated here and elsewhere, that is to say that the 2019 term was my second and last term,” he said. ”That’s what I said and that’s what I reaffirm tonight.”
The Head of State claims to have ”a deep respect for the Senegalese men and women who [l]’have read and heard’, which leads him to respect, he says, his promise made not to be a candidate in the presidential election next year.
”I have a code of honor and a sense of historical responsibility, which commands me to preserve my dignity and my word. I pay tribute here to my predecessors, Presidents Léopold Sédar Senghor, Abdou Diouf and Abdoulaye Wade,” he added.
